You'll get a lot of opinions but I really like this for a cheap build with all the bells and whistles. Aid Self is there because the RNG sometimes trumps soft capped DEF. Plus you can use it in battle.

Kin Combats and Reactive Armor are better suited for "typed" defense.

perma jump is ---> /up 1
I'm not so good at building defense based power sets. I do indeed have every accolade and at the moment have Cardiac Core Paragon. Feel free to tweak and change anything, looking for build advice. I do wish for the powers I chose though.
